Rewrite acts for actors (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cast

'actors' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rewrite acts' is the wordplay.
'rewrite' indicates an anagram.
'acts' with letters rearranged gives 'CAST'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cast that I've seen before include "Throw off; select (actor)" , "Throw out line for fish" , "Collectively, the actors in a play" , "Shy - group of actors" , "Actors; toss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
