Very nice presentation about Actors is at InfoQ: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Actor-Thinking


Especially the comparation to OOP is very nice. Both OOP and Actors are about messages. But in case of OOP, the messages are synchronous, while in Actor system they are asynchronous. As such they can be processed by one CPU and easily emulate paralelism.
