action, to look.... that is someone physically doing something
____
To look can be either, depending usually on whether the subject is an active doer or not, for example:
1. Active doer as subject - action verb - may take an adverb
I looked carefully before driving further down that road.
2. Inactive subject - linking verb - followed by an adjective
The programme looks impressive.
In example 2, looks is synonymous with (means the same as) appears, seems.
The room looked nice.
The reason that looked is not an action verb is because it is not actually doing the looking. You could replace looked with is/was very easily. Therefore, it is linking if it is not dong the action.
