by Eleanor Feb 23,2025

Beloved Bethesda voice actor Wes Johnson, known for his roles in Skyrim, Fallout 3, Starfield, and numerous other titles, is critically ill. His family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover his mounting medical expenses and living costs while he's unable to work.

According to a PC Gamer report, Johnson's wife, Kim, and family discovered him unconscious and barely alive in his hotel room after he failed to appear at a charity event he was scheduled to host for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in Atlanta on January 22nd. 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 donors. Beyond his extensive video game voice acting career, Johnson is also a long-time public address announcer for the Washington Capitals and has appeared in various film and television projects.

His extensive Bethesda credits include Ron Hope in Starfield, 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 other memorable roles. The gaming community and his fans are rallying to support him during this difficult time.
