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

Beloved voice actor Wes Johnson, known for his iconic work in Bethesda titles like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 3, and Starfield, is currently battling for his life in an intensive care unit. His wife, Kim, and family have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover mounting medical expenses and living costs while he is unable to work.

Initially, concern arose when Johnson failed to appear at a benefit event for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in Atlanta on January 22nd. After attempts to contact him proved unsuccessful, hotel security found him unconscious and barely alive in his room. Emergency responders struggled to find a pulse.

The GoFundMe campaign, initially aiming for $50,000, has already surpassed its goal significantly, raising over $144,791 from nearly 2,200 supporters. Beyond his extensive video game credits, Johnson has also served as the public address announcer for the Washington Capitals for 25 years and boasts a diverse career in film and television.

His contributions to the gaming world are largely associated with Bethesda, including memorable roles as Ron Hope in Starfield, Prince of Madness Sheogorath and Lucien Lachance in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, three Daedric Princes (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. The outpouring of support from fans reflects the profound impact he has had on the gaming community.
