Comments on the clue
1.Nice try at the and lit, unfortunately spoiled by "I'd do"
2.The "I'd do" doesn't quite fit the sense – good effort though
3.Nice idea but it wouldn't need much solving
4.'A role I'd do' is awkward for surface and the &lit def. 'Playing' doesn't produce a noun definition. "Played the lead…" would be better.
