"Bethesda Voice Actor Found 'Barely Alive,' Family Seeks Help"

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

As reported by PC Gamer, Johnson's wife, Kim, along with other family members, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover his medical expenses and support them while he is unable to work. The campaign page states, "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 on January 22. After traveling to the event and checking into his hotel, concerns arose when he did not 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 GoFundMe 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 aimed to raise $50,000, but the outpouring of support from fans has been overwhelming, with the total reaching $144,791 from 2,200 donors. Johnson, aside from his notable video game roles, has served as the public address announcer for the Washington Capitals for 25 years and has appeared in various film and television productions.

In the gaming world, Johnson's voice has brought to life numerous characters in Bethesda games. His recent role was Ron Hope in *Starfield*. He also voiced 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 Mister Burke in *Fallout 3*, Hermaeus Mora and Emperor Titus Mede II in *Skyrim*, and Moe Cronin in *Fallout 4*, among others.
