Author : Alexis Update : Mar 04,2025

Renowned Bethesda voice actor Wes Johnson, known for his roles in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 3, Starfield, and numerous other titles, was discovered critically ill in his hotel room last week, prompting a heartfelt plea for support from his family.

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 is currently fighting for his life in an intensive care unit.

The situation unfolded after Johnson volunteered to host a benefit event for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in Atlanta on January 22nd. Following his arrival and hotel check-in, his absence from the event triggered a frantic search.

According to the GoFundMe post, Kim Johnson desperately attempted to contact him. Hotel security was eventually required to access his room, where they found him unconscious and barely alive. Emergency responders reportedly struggled to detect a pulse.

The GoFundMe campaign initially set a $50,000 goal, but has already surpassed that target significantly, raising over $144,791 from approximately 2,200 donors. Beyond his extensive video game voice acting career, Johnson served as the public address announcer for the Washington Capitals for 25 years and boasts a diverse portfolio of film and television credits.

His prolific video game work is largely associated with Bethesda Game Studios. Recent roles include Ron Hope in Starfield. His past credits encompass a wide range of iconic characters, such as 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.
