Actor's not Polish revolutionary (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

burton

'actor's' is the definition.
(Richard Burton)

'not polish revolutionary' is the wordplay.
'polish' becomes 'rub' (polish meaning rub to make shiny).
'revolutionary' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (letters revolve around).
'not'+'rub'='notrub'
'notrub' written backwards gives 'BURTON'.

(Another definition for burton that I've seen is " Richard -, Melancholy author".)
