Film character, Jack perhaps? (7,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

picture card

'jack perhaps?' is the definition.
(I know that jack is a type of picture card)

'film character' is the wordplay.
'film' becomes 'picture' (synonyms).
'character' becomes 'card' (both can mean a humorous person).
'picture'+'card'='PICTURE-CARD'

(Other definitions for picture card that I've seen before include "may be one of those in the clubs" , "King, queen or jack" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
