A funny actor, I'm fragrant (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aromatic

'fragrant' is the definition.
('aromatic' can be similar in meaning to 'fragrant')

'a funny actor i'm' is the wordplay.
'funny' indicates an anagram.
'actor'+'im'='actorim'
'actorim' is an anagram of 'romatic'.
'a'+'romatic'='AROMATIC'

(Other definitions for aromatic that I've seen before include "Spicy material" , "Sweet-scented" , "Giving off an exotic fragrance" , "Cairo mat may smell nice" , "Having a distinctive pleasant smell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
