Actor a little wooden, ironically (2,4)
I believe the answer is:
de niro
'actor' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'a little wooden ironically' is the wordplay.
'a little' says the answer is hidden in the clue (a little bit of the clue).
'DE NIRO' is hidden in the letters of 'wooden ironically'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for de niro that I've seen before include "American actor, b. 1943" , "Robert . . . . . ., film star of ''Taxi Driver'' and ''Raging Bull''" , "Robert -, Oscar-winning US actor" , "Actor who plays mainly tough characters" , "Starred in The Godfather and Raging Bull" .)
