When testing Actors one should rather test the behaviours (the messages
sent to and from an Actor) instead of mocking.
Please note that since mockito (great tool) holds values in thread locals
and may not work as you'd expect it to with multithreaded code. Unless that
has changed I'd recommend against mixing mockito with Actor tests.
