Class: old, old actor (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brando

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

'actor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'class old old' is the wordplay.
'class' becomes 'brand'.
'old old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English. I am not sure about the 'old' bit.).
'brand'+'o'='BRANDO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brando that I've seen before include "Oscar-winning actor" , "Actor who died this year" , "Marlon --, film actor" , "FILMSTAR" , "heart-throb" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
