Place in sequence for a Charlie (7)
I believe the answer is:
chaplin
'for a charlie' is the definition.
(Charlie Chaplin)
'place in sequence' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'pl' (abbreviation used in postal addresses).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'sequence' becomes 'chain' (I've seen this before).
'pl' inserted within 'chain' is 'CHAPLIN'.
(Other definitions for chaplin that I've seen before include "Old comedy star" , "Early film comedian" , "English silent comedy actor, d. 1977" , "Charlie --, silent film star" , "Early film star and director" .)
