I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'obtain one to play a part' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'casters out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'casters' anagrammed gives 'ACTRESS'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for actress that I've seen before include "dame on stage?" , "Recasts (anag) - performer" , "Terry, say" , "Female player" , "eg Emma Thompson" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
