Name of a male character? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alec

'name' is the definition.
(man's name)

'of a male character?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'ALEC' can be found hidden inside 'male character'.

(Other definitions for alec that I've seen before include "Actor Guinness is smart" , "Sir - Douglas-Home, former PM" , "Smart chap" , "Smart boy?" , "Sir -- Guinness, actor" .)
