Actor Hackman (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gene

'actor hackman' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gene that I've seen before include "Hereditary DNA sequence" , "and 16 Down: Rockabilly singer" , "Embarrassment" , "Hereditary unit on chromosome" , "affects someone's make-up" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Star Tribune.
