Crossword Genius

One rejected unfashionable actors (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outcast

'one rejected' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'unfashionable actors' is the wordplay.
'unfashionable' becomes 'out' ('out' can be a synonym of 'unfashionable').
'actors' becomes 'cast' (I've seen this before).
'out'+'cast'='OUTCAST'

(Other definitions for outcast that I've seen before include "one's not admitted" , "A reject like 10 Across" , "Displaced person" , "Pariah, leper" , "Exile" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
