I believe the answer is:

buster keaton

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'film comedian' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'repaired broken statue' is the wordplay.
'repaired' indicates an anagram.
'broken'+'statue'='brokenstatue'
'brokenstatue' with letters rearranged gives 'BUSTER KEATON'.

Can you help me to learn more?
