Actor seen in French city, briefly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poitier

'actor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'french city briefly' is the wordplay.
'french city' becomes 'poitiers' (I've seen this before).
'briefly' means to remove the last letter.
'poitiers' with its last letter taken away is 'POITIER'.

'seen in' is the link.

(Another definition for poitier that I've seen is " actor".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
