Actors considered fixed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

castrated

'fixed' is the definition.
(castrating is a kind of fixing)

'actors considered' is the wordplay.
'actors' becomes 'cast' (I've seen this before).
'considered' becomes 'rated' (I've seen this before).
'cast'+'rated'='CASTRATED'

(Other definitions for castrated that I've seen before include "Like bullocks" , "fixed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
