Vinod Khanna: An actor with a touch of sadness
https://m.rediff.com/movies/column/vinod-khanna-an-actor-with-a-touch-of-sadness/20170428.htm
I know that the "actor" is a singular countable noun so needs "a/an or the" but if we say "the actor with a touch of sadness"
What would it mean?
Why do we need "a" before "touch of sadness"?
Thanks
