Bullfighter turned to drama (7)
I believe the answer is:
matador
'bullfighter' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'turned to drama' is the wordplay.
'turned' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to'+'drama'='todrama'
'todrama' anagrammed gives 'MATADOR'.
(Other definitions for matador that I've seen before include "A bull-fighter.11 Beginning to develop" , "who does for bulls" , "He kills the bull in formal fight" , "Beastly fighting man" , "Principal bullfighter" .)
