Malkovich lists California home

      John Malkovich, who plays Matt Damon's Russian adversary in the movie "Rounders" and co-stars with Greta Scacchi in the upcoming film "Ladies' Room," has put his Hancock Park home of seven years on the market at just under $1.3 million.
      "He has a house in the South of France and doesn't come to Los Angeles enough to warrant holding onto his house here," said listing agent Marti Harlow. "He was here once in the past 4 1/2 years. He's calling the South of France his residence now."
      Malkovich, 44, was a founding member of the Steppenwolf Theatre group in Chicago. He made his Broadway debut with Dustin Hoffman in "Death of a Salesman" (1984) and his film debut the same year in "The Killing Fields." Since then, he has co-starred in such movies as "Dangerous Liaisons" (1988), "In the Line of Fire" (1993), "The Portrait of a Lady" (1996), "Con Air" (1997) and "The Man in the Iron Mask" (1998).
      Malkovich is making his feature-film directing debut with "The Libertine," starring Johnny Depp.
      Built in 1919, Malkovich's Hancock Park home measures about 4,000 square feet and has three bedrooms, a workout room and balcony off the owner suite in the main house. There is also a guest house with hardwood floors, an antique stove and hand-painted glass tiles.
      "He built the guest house with a Moroccan flair," Harlow said. "He did a lot of the work by hand himself."
      The home has a minaret on top, a bath with a fountain and Mor- occan-style fireplace. The Spanish-style house also has an oval pool.
