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

'film star' is the definition.
'al pacino' can be an answer for 'star'. I'm not sure about the 'film' bit.

'giving pal a coin' is the wordplay.
'giving' is an anagram indicator (the letters give the letters for another word).
'pal'+'a'+'coin'='palacoin'
'palacoin' anagrammed gives 'AL PACINO'.

'possibly' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for al pacino that I've seen before include "Serpico star" , "Best Actor Oscar winner 1992, for "Scent of a Woman"" .)
