Exceptionally unskilled actor (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extra

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'exceptionally' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'unskilled actor' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "score (not a hit)" , "Minor actor in crowd scene" , "more than usually" , "Bit-part actor" , "more than required" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
