According to imdb, he appeared in a couple things in the last few years. He had lung cancer in the late 90's, so I'm sure that sidelined him for awhile...

He's a Hoosier, just like me. I had forgotten that... and he also was part owner of some popcorn company, as I recall.

He had some legal issues with an associate in the popcorn biz. Not sure what all played out.
Hoosier = someone from Indiana
Maybe he wasn't in the second Dallas movie because he realized there was no sense in reliving the past. Enough is enough on the remakes.

He's doing great now, actually. I think he wasn't in War of the Ewings because his character was really finished off satisfactorily in JR Returns, and I think they didn't want to ruin that. Also, CBS didn't want John Ross, Christopher, and the other kids in it because the characters were too weak, so they got rid of characters more explicitly connected to them. This is why Bobby has a new love interest in the film and there aren't references to those people and so on.
