Not really, an actor can implement an FSM but it also can have an infinite number of states.

every non deterministic SM can be converted into FSM: "Using the subset construction algorithm, each NFA can be translated to an equivalent DFA" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondeterministic_finite_automa...

How is that relevant to the parent's point? Non-determinism has no relation to a system with infinite states, and the NFSM -> FSM construction algorithm provides no help in that case.
