'western actor' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'playing evil men including a republican' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'including' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'republican' becomes 'R' (political abbreviation).
'evil'+'men'='evilmen'
'evilmen' anagrammed gives 'leemvin'.
'a'+'r'='ar'
'leemvin' enclosing 'ar' is 'LEE MARVIN'.
