Funny man trained as singer and film star (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dean martin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'singer and film star' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'funny man trained' is the wordplay.
'funny' is an anagram indicator.
'man'+'trained'='mantrained'
'mantrained' anagrammed gives 'DEAN MARTIN'.

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dean martin that I've seen before include "singer and actor" , "entertainer" , "famed warbler" .)
