English actor I savaged for saucy stuff (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erotica

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'saucy stuff' is the definition.
'erotica' can be an answer for 'stuff' (I have seen 'sexy stuff' mean 'erotica' so perhaps 'stuff' could also mean 'erotica'). I'm not sure about the 'saucy' bit.

'english actor i savaged' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation as in OED).
'savaged' is an anagram indicator (the letters are damaged or savaged).
'actor'+'i'='actori'
'actori' with letters rearranged gives 'rotica'.
'e'+'rotica'='EROTICA'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for erotica that I've seen before include "Art of a sexual nature" , "arousing stuff" , "Sexual literature, art etc" , "sexy stuff" , "Sexually stimulating literature" .)
