Rewrite acts for actors (4)
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" .)
