I can act it out for schemer (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tactician

'schemer' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'i can act it out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'i'+'can'+'act'+'it'='icanactit'
'icanactit' is an anagram of 'TACTICIAN'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tactician that I've seen before include "General" , "Strategist" , "Skilful mover" , "Skilled planner" , "Chess player" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
