Yep.
I've worked as an extra several times.
In large crowd scenes it's been pretty common to have fake people one way or another for a long time.
One of the movies I was an extra in was "We are Marshall", which is a football movie.
Most of the faces in the stands in the football game crowd scenes were attached to inflatable torsos.
