Players - or cast, perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

actors

'players' is the definition.
('actor' can be a synonym of 'player')

'or cast perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'or'+'cast'='orcast'
'orcast' with letters rearranged gives 'ACTORS'.

(Other definitions for actors that I've seen before include "Thespians" , "Theatrical performers" , "Cast" , "Luvvies" , "They 23 down" .)
