Crossword Genius

Reject blooming actors (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outcast

'reject' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'blooming actors' is the wordplay.
'blooming' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in other clues).
'actors' becomes 'cast' (I've seen this before).
'out'+'cast'='OUTCAST'

(Other definitions for outcast that I've seen before include "A reject like 10 Across" , "One has been rejected by friends or society" , "untouchable" , "Displaced person" , "one's not admitted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
