Caribbean actor in Peru, improvised (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

puerto rican

'caribbean' is the definition.
(Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island)

'actor in peru improvised' is the wordplay.
'improvised' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'actor'+'in'+'peru'='actorinperu'
'actorinperu' is an anagram of 'PUERTO RICAN'.

(Other definitions for puerto rican that I've seen before include "Caribbean from San Juan, perhaps" , "Islander" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
