Crossword Genius

Actor's need I provide being thoughtful (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

considerate

'thoughtful' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'actor's need i provide' is the wordplay.
'provide' indicates an anagram.
'actors'+'need'+'i'='actorsneedi'
'actorsneedi' with letters rearranged gives 'CONSIDERATE'.

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for considerate that I've seen before include "Kind" , "Unselfish" , "Showing care" , "Mindful of others' well-being" , "Careful not to harm or inconvenience others" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
