When a crossword clue describes a person by what they do, a 5 letter word ending in OR is a strong candidate for the answer.
The OR ending forms agent nouns for the doer of an action, as ACTOR and JUROR are, alongside the ER of other trades.
Given a clue that reads as a role or occupation, test OR as well as ER, since either spelling fits the clue.
