Beloved Bethesda voice actor Wes Johnson, known for his roles in Skyrim, Fallout 3, Starfield, and numerous other titles, is critically ill. His family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover mounting medical expenses and living costs while he's unable to work.

According to a PC Gamer report, Johnson's wife, Kim, and family discovered him unconscious and barely alive in his hotel room after he failed to appear at a scheduled charity event for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in Atlanta. Emergency responders had difficulty finding a pulse.

The GoFundMe campaign, initially aiming for $50,000, has already surpassed its goal significantly, raising over $144,791 from over 2,200 donors. 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 extensive voice acting portfolio with Bethesda includes memorable characters such as Ron Hope in Starfield, Sheogorath and Lucien Lachance in Oblivion, three 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.
