Bethesda Voice Actor Found 'Barely Alive', Family Seeks Support

Iconic Bethesda voice actor Wes Johnson, known for his roles in *The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim*, *Fallout 3*, *Starfield*, and numerous other titles, was found in a critical condition in his hotel room last week. His family has reached out to fans, asking for their support during this challenging time.

As reported by PC Gamer, Johnson's wife, Kim, along with other family members, initiated a GoFundMe campaign to help cover his medical expenses and bills while he is unable to work. The campaign page stated, "Right now, Wes continues to battle for his life in an intensive care unit."

Johnson had committed to hosting a benefit event for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in Atlanta scheduled for January 22. After arriving and checking into his hotel, concerns arose when he failed to appear at the event. "When he didn’t show up at the event, his wife Kim tried desperately to get in touch with him," the post explained. "It took hotel security to enter his room and discover him unconscious and barely alive. Emergency medical technician crews struggled to find a pulse."

The GoFundMe campaign initially aimed to raise $50,000 but has surpassed this goal, amassing $144,791 from 2,200 supporters. Johnson, apart from his extensive voice work in video games, has been the public address announcer for the Washington Capitals for 25 years and has appeared in various film and television roles.

His contributions to Bethesda games are notable, with his most recent role being Ron Hope in *Starfield*. Johnson's voice has brought to life characters such as Prince of Madness Sheogorath and Lucien Lachance in *The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion*, three Daedric Princes (Boethiah, Malacath, and Molag Bal) in *The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind*, Fawkes and Maister Burke in *Fallout 3*, Hermaeus Mora and Emperor Titus Mede II in *Skyrim*, and Moe Cronin in *Fallout 4*, among others.
