Quite popular act (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indeed

'quite' is the definition.
(both can be used to express agreement)

'popular act' is the wordplay.
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'act' becomes 'deed' (deed is a kind of act).
'in'+'deed'='INDEED'

(Other definitions for indeed that I've seen before include "Unquestionably" , "Certainly, quite so" , "In reality" , "Word expressing surprise, disbelief, etc" , "Expression of interest, incredulity or contempt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
