"Gabriel Byrne thought that he was playing the part of Soze until he saw the completed film."
Yep.
And, apparently he wasn't too pleased when he found that out

As much as I respect Byrne and his work, I do think the actor is being a chump about it. There's no proof Keaton died on that boat. The only tie to Keaton being shot & burned is Verbal Kint's testimony, which everyone should understand is a fabrication. The movie may had demonstrated Keaton dying in multiple segments, but the movie is presenting visuals of an unreliable narrator. Keaton may have actually been Kaiser Soze, successfully executed his target, and never got shot, and Kint is just following through with his end of their contract.
And no, in the 1990's, they weren't going to get DNA evidence from a thoroughly barbequed corpse (but perhaps a convincing dental match). -

I think the movie made it pretty clear that Verbal was Keyser. The only other person who I'm even willing to accept culd be Keyser is "Kobayashi" (whatever his real name was), but it was most certainly not Keaton.

The opening scene of the movie shows what really happened and wasn't from Verbal's POV. Soze killed Keaton who made clear he recognized him.
True. And of course, Verbal did weave a compelling account of what happened on the dock and ship, and that of his profound admiration for Keaton as though he were some sort of kin; of which was underscored by agent Kujan's utter dislike for him. Yet the killing of Keaton was important, as it secured a loose and final knot for
Keyser Soze

I heard the two people behind the film had different views on who was Soze
.
Who ate the two people you are referring to? Did you hear they said it or did you get the knowledge from the commentary or an interview?
