Tease about vegetable, and run to copy an actor (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
richard burton
'an actor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'tease about vegetable and run to copy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'about' could be 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic) and 'on' is located in the answer.
'vegetable' could be 'chard' (chard is a kind of vegetable) and 'chard' is located in the answer.
'tease' could be 'rib' (I've seen this before) and 'rib' is present in the leftover letters.
'run' could be 'r' (cricket abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ut' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for richard burton that I've seen before include "Welsh actor, d. 1984" , "Welsh actor, married twice to Elizabeth Taylor" .)
