It's reading the script from above the camera that puts me right off.
Learn your fucking lines, or ad-lib it, or buy a longer lens to make it less horribly obvious that you're reading from a sheet. Looking slightly off-axis from the lens like that makes him look completely dead-eyed, which along with his crushingly low charisma and wooden delivery makes him seem like an eerily realistic automaton rather than an actual human being.
And yes, get some bloody sleeves.
