He draws actors into trouble (10)

I believe the answer is:

cartoonist

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

'he draws' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'actors into trouble' is the wordplay.
'trouble' is an anagram indicator.
'actors'+'into'='actorsinto'
'actorsinto' with letters rearranged gives 'CARTOONIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cartoonist that I've seen before include "Heath Robinson, say" , "Low" , "drawer" , "Scarfe, say" , "Eg, Peter Brookes" .)
