Country poor actor bleats about (7)
I believe the answer is:
bahamas
'country' is the definition.
(Bahamas is an example)
'poor actor bleats about' is the wordplay.
'poor actor' becomes 'ham' (I've seen this before).
'bleats' becomes 'baas' ('baa' can be a synonym of 'bleat').
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'ham' put into 'baas' is 'BAHAMAS'.
(Other definitions for bahamas that I've seen before include "holiday destination" , "West Indian country, capital Nassau" , "WI island group" , "Islands near Florida" , "Atlantic islands" .)
