Cryptic Celebs #3

Each hint contains a clue to an actor’s surname and a reference to a film in which he or she appeared. Can you name the actor? (Example: ‘Financial penalties for the English patient’. ‘Financial penalties’ is a clue to an actor’s surname and ‘The English Patient’ is the name of a film in which he appeared.)
Normal cryptic clue conventions are not entirely respected!
Homophones (and almost-homophones) are liberally used
Film titles are not necessarily given in full
