How do I access a custom property from another component in Unity

How do I access a custom property from another Unity component?

In my Avatar component I have declared the variable like this:

public var isInEndzone : boolean;

Calling the property from another component:

//actor variable is the GameObject that has the Avatar component.
public var avatar : GameObject;

....

var avatarComponent : Avatar = avatar.GetComponent(Avatar);
if (avatarComponent.IsInEndzone){
//do something...
}

Error:

GetComponent requires that the requested component 'Avatar' derives from MonoBehaviour or Component or is an interface.
UnityEngine.GameObject:GetComponent(Type)

BCE0019: 'IsInEndzone' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.Avatar'.

I GOT IT! You cannot use the reserved name Avatar, apparently that is already a class, change the name to something else and it will work.
