Actors don't avoid action scenes because of lack of time. But because... 1) Doing your own stunts steals work from the stunt team, who are payed per stunt. It's greedy and narcissistic because... 2) An injured star can shut down (temporarily or even permanently) a whole production. 3) The vast majority of films made in the 'West' are not action films, and the vast majority of action films are not martial arts films. 4) There is no single 'western' cinema. Hollywood has numerous directors, some workmen, some auteurs, and European cinema has enormous diversity. 5) There are indeed terrible directors and DOPs who use confusion to paste over the gaps in their own capacity to convey action. They're not anything like a majority, and are outnumbered by more classical directors like Spielberg, Fincher and Nolan, who have an excellent grap of visual space, pacing and blocking. 6) Every frame a painting is fantastic. Perhaps you should watch more than one episode?
