Actor and journalist in front of court with Democrat framed by charges (6,8)

'actor and journalist in front' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'court with democrat framed by charges' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'court' could be 'woo' (both can mean to romance someone) and 'woo' is present in the answer.
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is found within the answer.
'democrat' could be 'd' and 'd' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
