Note: You can find all the pages with 'actor based reality' info on them here - though please do see the heading of: 'Actor based reality note' at the very bottom of this page too as it is some of the most interesting, current and thought provoking.

The amazing dgb IDs the actor playing Derrick Chavin as Mackenzie Alexander Astin. To note, other members of the Astin family have been identified as involved in previous actor based reality (ABR) hoaxes, so there is an existing link with ABR and Mackenzie Alexander Astin.

Some images for evidence - 'official police mugshot' top, Mackenzie Alexander Astin IMDB image below:

Amongst other background information Ed Chiarini provides about Derrick Chavin/Mackenzie Alexander Astin, in his post here [sorry post not available anymore] Chiarini mentions that: "The reason why he is facing the wrong way in the mug shot is because Mackenzie Alexander Astin has a chunk taken out of his ear and he sometimes wears a prosthetic to hide it. If he showed the other side we would surly pick it out."

Below is Chiarini's side-by-side comparison image of Mackenzie Alexander Astin (on left) and Derrick Chavin (on right).

See Ed Chiarini's website page for more about his ID'ing of Derrick Chavin. Chiarini can also be found on YouTube here and Twitter here. Note that Actor Based Reality (ABR) is Ed Chiarini's term which he coined and which itself has made the concept more explainable imo. Joe Atwill uses the term Lifetime Actor for a similar concept, but it is not as explanatory as ABR.
