Crossword Genius

Cast or cast out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

actors

'cast' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'or cast out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'or'+'cast'='orcast'
'orcast' with letters rearranged gives 'ACTORS'.

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

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
