Collect James the actor (6)
I believe the answer is:
garner
'collect' is the definition.
(I know that collect can be written as garner)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for garner that I've seen before include "Gather or collect" , "Collect from ranger" , "Store up; Erroll ---, jazz pianist" , "Gather, earn" , "Collect and store" .)
