<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">actors</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('player' can be a synonym of 'actor')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for players that I've seen before include "They participate in games" , "cast" , "Performers" , "Musicians" , "Team members" .)
