Actor Rip ____ (4)
I believe the answer is:
torn
'actor rip' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for torn that I've seen before include "Having rips" , "'-- Curtain', 1966 Hitchcock film" , "Undecided between two" , "Divided" , "Ripped - undecided" .)
