Film role for which Russell Crowe won an Oscar (9)

I believe the answer is:

gladiator

(Other definitions for gladiator that I've seen before include "One trained to fight in Roman arenas" , "Film" , "Roman prize-fighter" , "Circus performer" , "Gold tiara (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
