Cast or cast off? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

actors

'cast' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'or cast off?' is the wordplay.
'off?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'off' mean this).
'or'+'cast'='orcast'
'orcast' anagrammed gives 'ACTORS'.

(Other definitions for actors that I've seen before include "Luvvies" , "eg 9 & 11 across" , "The Gleeson boys, say" , "They 23 down" , "Theatrical performers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Best For Puzzles.
