Bethesda Voice Actor Battles for Life; Family Appeals for Help

Mar 14,2025 Author: Mila

Beloved Bethesda voice actor Wes Johnson, known for his work in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 3, Starfield, and countless other titles, was found critically ill in his hotel room last week. His family is now appealing to fans for support.

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

The urgent situation arose after Johnson volunteered to host a benefit event for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in Atlanta on January 22nd. After arriving and checking into his hotel, he failed to appear at the event. His wife's attempts to contact him were unsuccessful, leading hotel security to discover him unconscious and barely alive. Emergency responders struggled to find a pulse.

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

His extensive video game work is primarily associated with Bethesda titles. Recent roles include Ron Hope in Starfield. His impressive repertoire of Bethesda characters also includes Prince of Madness 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.
