He glared madly (6)
I believe the answer is:
gerald
'he' is the definition.
'glared madly' is the wordplay.
'madly' indicates an anagram.
'glared' anagrammed gives 'GERALD'.
(Other definitions for gerald that I've seen before include "- - Ford, ex-US president" , "- Moore, accompanist" .)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
