Drop these actors? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cast

I believe this is a double definition.

'drop' is the first definition.
(I know that cast is a action)

'these actors?' is the second definition.
(group of actors)

(Other definitions for cast that I've seen before include "characters together" , "Discard; actors (in play)" , "Throw a fishing line" , "Discard; mould" , "Allocate roles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
