If you want to send a message to a specific actor you can look up remote actors via actorSelection:

val selection context.actorSelection("akka.tcp://actorSystemName@10.0.0.1:2552/user/actorName")

Lots of details in the docs here: https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.5/remoting.html

Of you can make use of a feature like ClusterSharding or ClusterSingleton where you don't need to create the actors, just send messages and Akka will create them for you.
