Bethesda Voice Actor Battles for Life; Family Appeals for Help

Beloved Bethesda voice actor Wes Johnson, known for his work in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 3, Starfield, and countless other titles, was found critically ill in his hotel room last week. His family is now seeking support from fans.

As reported by PC Gamer, Johnson's wife Kim and family have launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover mounting medical expenses and living costs while he's unable to work. The campaign states that Johnson remains in intensive care, fighting for his life.

The situation unfolded when Johnson, having volunteered to host a benefit event for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in Atlanta on January 22nd, failed to appear. His wife, unable to reach him, alerted hotel security. They found him unconscious and barely alive, requiring emergency medical intervention.

The GoFundMe campaign, initially aiming for $50,000, has already surpassed its goal nearly threefold, raising over $144,791 from over 2,200 supporters. Beyond his extensive video game credits, Johnson is also a well-known public address announcer for the Washington Capitals (25 years) and has appeared in numerous film and television projects.

His contributions to Bethesda games are particularly noteworthy, including recent roles like Ron Hope in Starfield. His impressive repertoire of Bethesda characters also includes Sheogorath and Lucien Lachance (Oblivion), three Daedric Princes (Morrowind), Fawkes and Maister Burke (Fallout 3), Hermaeus Mora and Emperor Titus Mede II (Skyrim), and Moe Cronin (Fallout 4), among many others.
