Comic summary of Little Bighorn for Spooner? (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

buster keaton

'comic' is the definition.
(comic actor)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for buster keaton that I've seen before include "silent clown - with 21d" , "Comic" , "Broken statue (anag) - early film star" , "US silent film star" , "Silent screen star" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
