In the last few years, inexperienced actors pant like they just ran a marathon even if only crossing the room, or standing still. I have noticed it in movies as far back as the late 90's but it was rare. Yet seems to have become the default resting behavior and it's really annoying. It must be coming from some popular acting school.

You mean like in horror movies or just cinema in general?

Going forward watch for it. Once you notice you'll never be able to ignore it.

Maybe to add tension?

I think I understand it. I have done some tv and film acting. If the director thinks you have done too many takes, he might want to let you finish the shot without taking a breather. If you have just done ten takes of getting on and off a horse, you may be panting.

Apparently it's an effective substitute, no one seems to notice.
