The sense of bizarre wonder and excitement, that he does in, say, Lucy In The Sky, and probably the reason he was hired to do that gig, is missing. Doesn't mean the director could speak it any better, but then that's not his job. It's to direct, and the actor to act on those directions, no matter how odd.

It reminds me of the "frozen peas" audio of Orson Welles doing some voiceover work and getting frustrated the lines he has to read. If you haven't heard it, it's worth looking up. Hilarious.

That's nothing new. He does, however, also seem to have a healthy sense of humor about himself and his own foibles. Hell, William Shatner is well-known for a certain amount of dickery.
