Get new actors to briefly record a shoot outside (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recast

'get new actors' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'briefly record a shoot outside' is the wordplay.
'briefly record' becomes 'rec' (short for record; 'briefly' asks for an abbreviation).
'outside' means to remove the middle letters.
'shoot' with its middle removed is 'st'.
'rec'+'a'+'st'='RECAST'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for recast that I've seen before include "Give an actor a different role" , "given new form" , "reconstructed" , "Put into a different form" , "Present in a different form" .)

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