Man of Steel portrayer (5)
I believe the answer is:
reeve
'man of steel portrayer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for reeve that I've seen before include "old-fashioned official" , "Female ruff - Canterbury tale-teller" , "Medieval official - pass rope through an eye" , "Old chief magistrate" , "thread his way through" .)
