He might fall for actor (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stuntman

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

'might fall for actor' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'he' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'he' could be 'stu' and 'stu' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stuntman that I've seen before include "Someone paid to act dangerously" , "Performer of dangerous feats" , "Performer of dangerous acts in films etc" , "Movie extra who performs dangerous feats" , "Double for a film's dangerous scenes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
