Yeah, it's actually fairly uncommon to want a Future inside your Actor -- this is only one of the many reasons why. I've found that cases like this tend to be either:
a) You're doing something long-running, and then want to throw an exception in response to the results (in which case, the Future should probably send a message back to the Actor, and that's where you do this validation, in its normal receive processing); or b) You want to throw an exception in the middle of some long-running computation (in which case, that computation may well want to be split off into its own Actor, which gets managed with normal supervision).
