Legendary Voiceover Talent Discovered in Perilous Condition

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

According to a PC Gamer report, Johnson was found unconscious and barely alive in his hotel room last week after failing to appear at a benefit event he was scheduled to host for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in Atlanta. His wife, Kim, raised the alarm after he didn't respond to her attempts to contact him. Emergency responders had difficulty detecting a pulse upon arrival.

The GoFundMe campaign, initially aiming for $50,000, has already surpassed its goal significantly, raising over $144,791 from nearly 2,200 donors. Beyond his extensive video game voice acting career, Johnson is also a long-time public address announcer for the Washington Capitals hockey team and has appeared in various film and television projects.

His impressive Bethesda repertoire includes memorable roles 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. The gaming community and beyond are rallying to support Johnson and his family during this difficult time.
