Ross

I believe the answer is:

reads

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">tries for a role</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for reads that I've seen before include "Looks at and undertsands the written word" , "Peruses" , "Scans" , "Studies (at university)" , "Understands written language" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
