New take presented by working actor-director (6)

I believe the answer is:

keaton

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

'actor-director' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'new take presented by working' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'presented by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'working' becomes 'on' (on can mean working or activated).
'take' with letters rearranged gives 'keat'.
'keat'+'on'='KEATON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for keaton that I've seen before include "'Buster' of the silent films" , "Buster -, silent film comedian" , "Buster ---, silent film comic" , "Buster ...... was stolid star of silent screen" , "Buster -, film comedian and director" .)
