Seagal and his doubles


Has anyone noticed that Seagal is barely in shot with anyone else?

Every scene featuring Kane lacks an establishing shot at the top of the scene, and any dialogue scenes with him in cuts between a shot of Kane talking and a shot of whomever he's talking to; there's no two-shots or wide shots. If Kane's talking to his team, we get a wide shot of them listening with Kane's blurry arm in the foreground off to one side of the frame, or worse, a reverse angle from behind Kane's head where it's clearly a stand-in and not Seagal.

What gives? Is he too busy/lazy to do anything but the fight scenes? Even some of those seem cut together with doubles for anything but close-ups. It's pretty distracting - not to mention hugely disappointing. It looks cheap, even for low-budget TV.
