'buster in silent movies' is the definition.
'keaton' can be an answer for 'buster' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'in silent movies' bit.

'take a tongue-tied part' is the wordplay.
'part' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'KEATON' is hidden in the letters of 'take a tongue tied'.

'is to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for keaton that I've seen before include "Diane, Michael or Buster!" , "Buster -, silent film comedian" , "Buster - - , US comic" , "Buster ---, silent film comic" , "Buster ...... was poker-faced star of silent screen" .)
