Scolded actors get aid distributed (10)
I believe the answer is:
castigated
'scolded' is the definition.
(castigating is a kind of scolding)
'actors get aid distributed' is the wordplay.
'actors' becomes 'cast' (group of actors).
'distributed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'get'+'aid'='getaid'
'getaid' is an anagram of 'igated'.
'cast'+'igated'='CASTIGATED'
(Other definitions for castigated that I've seen before include "Chastised" , "reprimanded" , "Scolded" .)
