Put off wrecked actors captured by surreal painter (13)
I believe the answer is:
procrastinate
'put off' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'wrecked actors captured by surreal painter' is the wordplay.
'wrecked' is an anagram indicator.
'captured by' is an insertion indicator.
'surreal' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'actors' with letters rearranged gives 'ocrast'.
'painter' anagrammed gives 'prinate'.
'ocrast' inserted within 'prinate' is 'PROCRASTINATE'.
(Other definitions for procrastinate that I've seen before include "Stall" , "Delay taking action" , "Put off what should be done now" , "Put off till later" , "Dally" .)
