Quiet Doctor Fair! He's an Egyptian actor! (6)

I believe the answer is:

sharif

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

'he's an egyptian actor' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'quiet doctor fair' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'sh' (both can be said to tell someone to be quiet).
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'fair' anagrammed gives 'arif'.
'sh'+'arif'='SHARIF'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sharif that I've seen before include "Ruler" , "Prince" , "Omar --, film actor" , "Important Arab" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
