By SophiaFeb 22,2025

Beloved voice actor Wes Johnson, known for his work in numerous Bethesda titles including Skyrim, Fallout 3, and Starfield, is critically ill and requires urgent medical assistance. His family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover his extensive medical bills and living expenses during his recovery.

According to a PC Gamer report, Johnson was found unconscious and barely alive in his hotel room after failing to appear at a charity event. His wife, Kim, raised the alarm after being unable to contact him. Hotel security found him in critical condition, requiring emergency medical intervention.

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 is also a long-time public address announcer for the Washington Capitals and has appeared in various film and television projects.

His impressive video game repertoire largely features Bethesda titles. Recent roles include Ron Hope in Starfield, but his contributions extend to iconic characters such as Sheogorath and Lucien Lachance in Oblivion, multiple Daedric Princes 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. The gaming community and his fans are rallying to support him during this difficult time.
