de niro

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'actor' is the definition.
(I know that De Niro is a actor)

'beer garden iron man visits with famous' is the wordplay.
'DE NIRO' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for de niro that I've seen before include "Robert . . . . . ., film star of ''Taxi Driver'' and ''Raging Bull''" , "Robert . . . . . ., male movie star of 'Taxi Driver' and 'Raging Bull'" , "Robert ... (''you talkin' to me?'')" , "Actor who plays mainly tough characters" , "Robert ..., film actor" .)
