Put in a similar part (8)

I believe the answer is:

typecast

(Other definitions for typecast that I've seen before include "with no variation in roles" , "Given the same sort of parts" , "engaged for similar roles" , "Stereotype" , "in the usual parts" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
