American actor wants gold for country (4)

I believe the answer is:

land

'for country' is the definition.
('land' can be a synonym of 'country')

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for land that I've seen before include "Property" , "nation" , "Country, state" , "SECOND PART OF 15" , "win" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
