If you mean director instead of actor, then yes.

that's a good idea.  I'd thought about that a couple times before, 
although I'm not sure if there is a need.  the type system works without 
  a director.

it's just called dynamic source because that's what I called it when I 
build the new actor wizard.  it's probably a bad name at this point and 
should be changed.
