The Actor Model is a formalization of what needs to be done for IoT and many-core computers. The ideas were circulating widely before work began on Erlang even if the engineers did not read the literature.

Thank you for clarifying.

I do like how the Actor Model and Erlang work arrived at the same concepts independently. It seems like an extra validation of the concept.
