Did cast play junkies? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

addicts

'junkies?' is the definition.
(junky is a kind of addict)

'did cast play' is the wordplay.
'play' indicates an anagram.
'did'+'cast'='didcast'
'didcast' is an anagram of 'ADDICTS'.

(Other definitions for addicts that I've seen before include "People who are hooked" , "Habitual drug users" , "Junkies" , "People with compulsive ailments as for drugs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
