You can use the ``typedActorOf`` that takes a TypedProps and an ActorRef to proxy the given ActorRef as a TypedActor.
This is usable if you want to communicate remotely with TypedActors on other machines, just look them up with ``actorFor`` and pass the ``ActorRef`` to ``typedActorOf``.
Lookup & Remoting
-----------------
Since ``TypedActors`` are backed by ``Akka Actors``, you can use ``actorFor`` together with ``typedActorOf`` to proxy ``ActorRefs`` potentially residing on remote nodes.
