Stage actors are acting for a large audience, screen actors are acting for a camera. It's far harder to communicate subtlety to a bunch of people in the back of a theater than it is to a camera that's right up in the actor's face, so they both necessitate different acting styles. The exaggerated style of stage acting does not translate well to screen.

He was clearly still getting into it in Season 1 of TNG :) One example that comes to mind is the end of the first double-episode encounter at farpoint. Where he's like "Let's see what 's out there! Engage!". That really looked like stage acting.
