Skyrim and Fallout VA Found "Barely Alive"

Beloved Bethesda voice actor Wes Johnson, known for his roles in Skyrim, Fallout 3, Starfield, and countless others, was discovered critically ill in his hotel room last week, prompting a family appeal for support.

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

The crisis unfolded when Johnson failed to appear at a January 22nd benefit event for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in Atlanta. After repeated attempts to contact him, his wife Kim alerted hotel security, who found him unconscious and barely alive. Emergency responders struggled to detect a pulse.

The GoFundMe campaign, initially aiming for $50,000, has already surpassed its goal nearly threefold, exceeding $144,791 thanks to over 2,200 generous donors. Beyond his extensive video game credits, Johnson is also renowned for his 25-year tenure as public address announcer for the Washington Capitals and his numerous film and television appearances.

His prolific video game career is largely associated with Bethesda titles. His recent roles include Ron Hope in Starfield. Other notable performances include Sheogorath and Lucien Lachance in Oblivion, three Daedric Princes (Boethiah, Malacath, and Molag Bal) in 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.
