"Another self" literally (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alter ego

(Other definitions for alter ego that I've seen before include "Other self - large toe (anag)" , "Is it Kent" , "Hidden self or very close friend" , "Similar character" , "Trusted friend" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
