Typically this should be done by having the components in the task, rather than
the task in a record. That is, rather than

task type Actor is
   ...
end Actor;

type R is record
   F1 : ...;
   F2 : ...;
   T  : Actor;
end record;

it's usually better to have

task body Actor is
   F1 : ...;
   F2 : ...;
