Strangely tasty cep seen as belonging to the same sort (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

typecast

'belonging to the same sort' is the definition.
(as in typecast acting jobs)

'strangely tasty cep' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates an anagram.
'tasty'+'cep'='tastycep'
'tastycep' anagrammed gives 'TYPECAST'.

'seen as' is the link.

(Other definitions for typecast that I've seen before include "in the usual parts" , "make actor repeat himself ..." , "with no variation in roles" , "Assigned the same kind of role repeatedly" , "Put into same kind of role continually" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
