Ross

I believe the answer is:

casting

(Other definitions for casting that I've seen before include "The process of selecting actors for play" , "shell across back of fort" , "Selecting players" , "Shaping metal in mould" , "Shaping in mould; assigning actors to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
