Did content of bidet career from behind? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acted

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

'content of bidet career from behind?' is the wordplay.
'content of' indicates a hidden word.
'from behind?' says the letters should be written backwards (I've seen 'from behind' mean this).
'detca' can be found hidden inside 'bidet career'.
'detca' written backwards gives 'ACTED'.

(Other definitions for acted that I've seen before include "Took part in play" , "Performed on stage" , "Posed as" , "took part in simulation" , "Played a role" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
