Crazed fellow in charge (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manic

'crazed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'fellow in charge' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'man' (fellow can mean a man).
'in charge' becomes 'ic' (abbreviation for 'in charge').
'man'+'ic'='MANIC'

(Other definitions for manic that I've seen before include "Crazily excited" , "Berserk" , "Obsessive" , "on one!" , "Ludicrously busy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
