Agent taking out fine player (5)
I believe the answer is:
actor
'player' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'agent taking out fine' is the wordplay.
'agent' becomes 'factor' (business term for a representative).
'taking out' is a deletion indicator.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'factor' with 'f' taken out is 'ACTOR'.
(Other definitions for actor that I've seen before include "Luvvy" , "Person performing on stage or screen" , "Stage-player" , "Cruise maybe" , "Player - performer" .)
