If $actuals is an array, you can access the first element via array notation. Arrays in php are 0 based.

Console::Log('actuals', $actuals[0]);

Based on your statement that $actuals is an array with a number of associative keys within, you can get a human readable form using print_r, and passing the true parameter to return the output rather than printing it.

Console::Log('actuals', print_r($actuals, true));
