Not only Gandalf loses his patience with this obnoxious fellow; Dr Zhivago became equally irate (or at least, Peter O'Toole did)

Any sympathy for John Noble here?

Which character was Noble?
 
John Noble played Denethor. He hasn't been in many movies, and there isn't much about him on the net or in the news. No sympathy for him, really...

On the other hand, I'm quite disappointed with Omar Sharif's behaviour.

After all, he's the one Boromir referred to when saying "my father is a noble man"
 
If I remember right, Denethor is the guy who took the firey plunge off the prow of the White City? Great scene!
 
That's him all right.
