As billyellis seems temporarily (we hope) unavailable, I'm going to go with the next clue given | my-screen-name-sucks wrote: |
newspaper tycoon steals penicillin |
which I believe is Orson Welles as Charles Foster Kane and Harry Lime
The gentleman's gentleman was a filthy depraved miscreant. |

I'm pretty sure its Peter Falk and the second part is Princess Bride where he reads a story about Buttercup, but I have no idea what the first one is. Colombo maybe? |
Well done. Peter Falk in The Inlaws and The Princess Bride. The first one is one of the 5 funniest movies of all time, butchered by the horrific "remake" a few years ago.  |

OK, that second clue just has to be Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, but I am not Michael Caine buff, so other than Alfred from the recent Batman installments, the first clue could be any one of several MC roles, so I am stuck.  |

No shit! Is anyone else a little scared of tzman now?? I guess Jeffrey Dahmer was a rascal and Ted Bundy a prankster.  
The filthy depraved miscreant knows what's in the cards. |

I'm going to go way out on a limb and say Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects and 21

Are you serving Brett Favre-r beans?
**Spoiler alert for The Usual Suspects - if you have not seen it and plan to, do not read the rest of this reply.**
And nope - not Kevin Spacey. But good guess, since the clues are a decent fit. I guess I think of Keyser Soze as more of a cold blooded killer than a miscreant. tzman is rubbing off on you, Sugarman.
EDIT: Uh...you know what I mean...
Hints: The cards in question are not playing cards. And this one is an actual woman, not just Kevin Spacey.

OK, one last hint: a small canid or an international assassin.
(answer below)
Glenne Headly in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (as the Jackal) and What's The Worst That Could Happen (as an astrologer). |

| My apologies for not following up my guess earlier. In my defense my apartment had been invaded by an army of voracious mites (I'm still waging a bitter campaign to drive them out) and it simply slipped my mind. |

Before this dries up and blows away;
Survived bullets and poison and hated his dad.
Hint, both initials are the same. |
