Stooge in love with English stage and screen actor (6)
I believe the answer is:
otoole
'actor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'stooge in love with english' is the wordplay.
'stooge' becomes 'tool' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'o'+'e'='oe'
'tool' put inside 'oe' is 'OTOOLE'.
'stage and screen' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for otoole that I've seen is " Actor".)
