Any interaction with the "out" actor should probably be inside your HandlerClass actor, I'd call that ChatConnection or something more descriptive. If more actors wants to interact with it you should create protocol for those actions and keep the actual interaction with "out" inside that ChatConnection, so if you want a registry of all current connections for example, that would be another actor that each ChatConnection interacts with through messages.
