How do you reference the Player Class in Photon Unity Networking 2?

I'm trying to send an Rpc to a specific Player, but I can't use the get function from the Player class, I have to setup a player variable first, but I can't have the player variable equal anything except null if I can't reference the player. I have been wholly unable to come across any information after scouring the internet for an hour.

I've tried using references to photonView and tried to reference Player through GetComponent(); which always ended in the error "ArgumentException: GetComponent requires that the requested component 'Player' derives from MonoBehaviour or Component or is an interface"

Before the Photon change to Photon 2 it worked fine and my code was:

other.photonView.RPC("Reflect", PhotonPlayer.Find(other.GetComponent<PhotonView>().ownerId))

And after trying for a couple hours to fix it I have this:

other.photonView.RPC("Reflect", GameObject.Find("Game Manager").GetComponent<Player>().Get(other.GetComponent<PhotonView>().OwnerActorNr));

I expected to be able to find a player by id/actor number without needing a player referenced already, but it appears that I need to have that reference. It doesn't make any sense to me as to why or what I've done wrong.

It should be simple as the PhotonView class has Owner and OwnerActorNr;

photonView.RPC("RpcMethodName", photonView.Owner));
