Well I have a full grid, but there are two that I haven't fully parsed - any hints?

19a Actor played with 50 per cent of components. (4,4)
I have a well-loved actor, now deceased.

5d Exile to leave country at exit (6)
I have another word for (an) "exile".

Thanks, dj - that's a bit feeble, isn't it? EMIGRE and EMIGRATE are very closely related.

G'day all
My personal best: 35 mins.

but....... I am still trying to parse a few which I will now try and do. I'm pleased I did not open this thread as I don't like to see answers too soon. However, all those queried I had already.

No problem Chrise.
I still cannot parse 22a and 10a
22a I have a synonym for unimportant, 3 of the letters being OMR
10a Cambridge College. Cannot see why.
I am going to kick myself.....
