Ten secrets about what actor may have to go through (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

screen test

'what actor may have to go through' is the definition.

'ten secrets about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'ten'+'secrets'='tensecrets'
'tensecrets' anagrammed gives 'SCREEN TEST'.

(Other definitions for screen test that I've seen before include "What might precede filming" , "in which player tries to impress" , "in which player is evaluated" , "trial for players" , "Audition of prospective actor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
