### Clue: Feline coils wool (he's known for playing) (3,5)
### Answer: TOM HANKS 
 ### Explanation: Definition: he's known for playing
A charade of TOM (cat, 'feline') plus HANKS ('coils wool'; HANK is listed as a verb, but as far as I can tell not in this sense, so I must interpret this as a noun, as coils of wool), for the film star.
