Chapter 20. Actors > Sending Messages
20.2. Sending Messages
An actor is an object that processes asynchronous messages. You send a message to an actor, and the actor processes it, perhaps messaging other actors to do further processing.
A message can be any object. For example, the actors in the preceding section do something when they receive the string "Hi".
