Finds another role for exceptional actress (7)

I believe the answer is:

recasts

'finds another role for' is the definition.
(casts again in a new role)

'exceptional actress' is the wordplay.
'exceptional' indicates anagramming the letters.
'actress' is an anagram of 'RECASTS'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
