Iconic Bethesda Voice Actor of Skyrim, Fallout 3, and More Found 'Barely Alive' as Family Seek Support

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 is unable to work. The campaign states that Johnson remains in intensive care, fighting for his life.

The urgent need for assistance arose when Johnson, having volunteered to host a benefit event for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in Atlanta on January 22nd, failed to appear. After repeated attempts to contact him, hotel security found him unconscious and barely alive. Emergency responders struggled to detect a pulse.

The GoFundMe campaign initially set a goal of $50,000, but has already surpassed that target nearly threefold, raising over $144,791 from over 2,200 supporters. Beyond his extensive video game credits, Johnson is also the long-time public address announcer for the Washington Capitals hockey team and has appeared in numerous films and television shows.

His prolific video game voice acting career is largely associated with Bethesda titles. Recent roles include Ron Hope in Starfield. His extensive Bethesda repertoire also features memorable performances as Sheogorath and Lucien Lachance in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion; Boethiah, Malacath, and Molag Bal in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind; Fawkes and Maister Burke in Fallout 3; Hermaeus Mora and Emperor Titus Mede II in Skyrim; and Moe Cronin in Fallout 4, among many others.
