Keystone Kops part reviewed for Ryan Gosling role (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ken

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

'ryan gosling role' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'keystone kops part reviewed' is the wordplay.
'part' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'reviewed' is a reversal indicator.
'nek' can be found hidden inside 'keystone kops'.
'nek' written backwards gives 'KEN'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ken that I've seen before include "Understanding - boy's name" , "Identify; -- Livingstone" , "Notice" , "Know; man's name" , "Awareness" .)
