Show respect to thespian in Metamorphosis (3,4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tip ones hat

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

'to thespian in metamorphosis' is the wordplay.
'in metamorphosis' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'to'+'thespian'='tothespian'
'tothespian' is an anagram of 'TIP ONES HAT'.

(Another definition for tip ones hat that I've seen is " Show respect".)
