Charles Moorhead makes this void (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chasm

'this void' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'charles moorhead' is the wordplay.
'charles' becomes 'Chas' (shortened form).
'moorhead' becomes 'm' (head letter of 'moor').
'chas'+'m'='CHASM'

'makes' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chasm that I've seen before include "What's split" , "A deep opening in the earth" , "Pit" , "Deep opening in the earth's surface" , "Great divide" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
