Arrived with nothing for small feature role (5)
I believe the answer is:
cameo
'small feature role' is the definition.
'cameo' can be an answer for 'role' (I have seen 'Brief role ' mean 'cameo' so perhaps 'role' could also mean 'cameo'). I am unsure of the 'small feature' bit.
'arrived with nothing' is the wordplay.
'arrived' becomes 'came' (coming is a kind of arriving).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'came'+'o'='CAMEO'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cameo that I've seen before include "Something small but well done - say role in play" , "Small piece of carved stone or small role in play" , "Famous actor's small role" , "Ornament or miniature performance" , "Star's tiny role" .)
