I agree that Denethor was portrayed as far less noble than he was in the books, but I think this was a product of the script, not the casting. I thought that John Noble played him brilliantly with the part provided to him, and I think he would have done an equally good job had his character been given a bit more nobility and honor (i.e. not getting repeatedly jabbed with Gandalf's staff).
