"Legendary Voice Actor from Skyrim, Fallout 3 Found 'Barely Alive', Family Seeks Help"

Author : Sadie Apr 01,2025

Iconic Bethesda voice actor Wes Johnson, known for his roles in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Fallout 3, Starfield, and numerous other titles, was discovered "barely alive" in his hotel room last week. His family is now reaching out to fans for support during this critical time.

According to PC Gamer, Johnson's wife, Kim, along with other family members, has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to help cover his medical expenses and support the family 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 volunteered to host a benefit event for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in Atlanta on January 22. After flying to the city 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 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 initially aimed to raise $50,000, but the outpouring of support from fans has been overwhelming, with the total now reaching $144,791 from 2,200 contributors. Beyond his video game work, Johnson has served as the public address announcer for the Washington Capitals for 25 years and has appeared in various film and television roles.

In the gaming world, Johnson's voice has brought to life many memorable characters, primarily in Bethesda games. His most recent role was as Ron Hope in Starfield. He has also voiced the 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.
