Odom's "Hamilton" role (4)

I believe the answer is:

burr

(Other definitions for burr that I've seen before include "Seed carrying pod with hooks" , "Prickly seedcase of certain plants" , "The strong pronunciation of ''r''" , "Rough pronunciation of the letter r as in some areas" , "Seed pod with hooks - filing tool" .)

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