UE4: How to cast actor to blueprint interface type

I'd like to store a variable of type Actor in a variable which is of a BP interface type.

Is there something like a Cast To BP Interface BP node? I know about the Does Implement Interface (which does not return a reference to the interface instance) and the Cast To (which doesn't work for interfaces) nodes. But these do not allow me to get an instance of my BP interface type.

I know that I could store the actor in a variable of type Actor and then invoke the interface functions on that actor. But that seems like a type system workaround to me. That's why I'd like to enfore the interface type on the variable.

Cast To does work, it just doesn't show up in the context. Disable 'Context Sensitive' or click in an empty place in the graph to create a Cast To node, and then hook it up to your actor.
