Actor's not Polish revolutionary (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

burton

'actor's' is the definition.
(Richard Burton)

'not polish revolutionary' is the wordplay.
'polish' becomes 'rub' (polish meaning rub to make shiny).
'revolutionary' says the letters should be written backwards (letters revolve around).
'not'+'rub'='notrub'
'notrub' backwards is 'BURTON'.

(Another definition for burton that I've seen is " Richard -, Melancholy author".)
