American chap to see James Bond? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agent

'james bond?' is the definition.
(James Bond is an example)

'american chap' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'a' (common abbreviation - e.g. in organisation names).
'chap' becomes 'gent' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'gent'='AGENT'

'to see' is the link.

(Other definitions for agent that I've seen before include "One representing others" , "One acting on behalf of another" , "Performer's manager" , "One employed to incite others to commit illegal acts" , "Actors' manager" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
