Suppose I have some class which has a property actor_ of type Actor . Is there a problem with me doing
def someMethod() = { actor_ ! "HELLO" }
Or should sending a message always be done from another actor; e.g.
def someMethod() = { Actor.actor { actor...

When you send a message to an actor from non-actor code....
It depends.
At the pure actor model everything is an actor and only actors are communicatinng with each other messages from non-actors to actors.

Given I invoke an actor from inside react does this block the calling Actor or is it still processing other requests?

An actor about the fact that actors....
The main idea of actors is a single thread of execution .
If it is invoke in middle of actor react block, the calling actor is blocked as well.

Anyone know of a good way to unit test Scala actors? In the general sense I have an actor that receives a message and will send out other messages in response. This is done on multiple threads, and an actor that is not correct may either send the wrong...

You will of course need to ensure that this mock... .
Just create an actor which receives the desired message and you're home free.
Because of the dynamic nature of actor-style message passing, mocking actors is usually no trouble at all.

The girls fighting about his acting skills in the LOAL thread got me thinking.
I don't rate him as an actor. I don't like Con Air or Face Off or most of the other crap he's been in.
BUT I loved Lord of War and really enjoyed Knowing.

I liked Lord of War as well and I'm sure there were others he an excellent actor, he doesn't need to pick and choose his films to prove that.
No doubt that he is an AMAZING actor.

Yes; the fact Steering Based Vehicle.
Concrete -- experienced by an actor.
By an actor, but extensions ("subclasses") are.

So I would simply have a class Person, that is the ... .
I see no specific properties of Director or Actor, they are just people.

Firstly you can control it's size:

And you can.
