Someone in The Imitation Game , perhaps? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

actor

This could be a double definition.

'someone in the imitation' is the first definition.
'actor' can be an answer for 'someone' (actor is a kind of someone). I am unsure of the 'in the imitation' bit.

'game perhaps?' is the second definition.
(I know this)

(Other definitions for actor that I've seen before include "One on stage" , "Theatrical performer" , "Croat (anag.)" , "Theatre player" , "eg Anthony Hopkins" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
