Type of actor (9)

I believe the answer is:

tragedian

'type of actor' is the definition.

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tragedian that I've seen before include "Egad, I rant about actor in sad drama" , "A great din (anag) - actor" , "Serious actor" , "actor in Macbeth?" , "Dramatist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
