Sceptic may be acting so strangely (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agnostic

'sceptic' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'acting so strangely' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates an anagram.
'acting'+'so'='actingso'
'actingso' anagrammed gives 'AGNOSTIC'.

'may be' is the link.

(Other definitions for agnostic that I've seen before include "One who is undecided" , "Sceptic - unbelieving" , "Unbeliever; sceptic" , "Song I act (anag)" , "Doubtful, non-committal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
