A good actor could be an art thief (5-7)
I believe the answer is:
scene-stealer
'a good actor' is the definition.
'scene-stealer' can be an answer for 'actor' (scene-stealer is a kind of actor). I am unsure of the 'a good' bit.
'an art thief' is the wordplay.
'an art' becomes 'scene' (scene is a kind of art).
'thief' becomes 'stealer' (I've seen this in another clue).
'scene'+'stealer'='SCENE-STEALER'
'could be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
