Beloved voice actor Wes Johnson, known for his work in numerous Bethesda titles including Skyrim, Fallout 3, and Starfield, is critically ill and requires urgent medical assistance. His family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover his extensive medical bills and living expenses during his recovery.
According to a report by PC Gamer, Johnson was found unconscious and barely alive in his hotel room after failing to appear at a charity event. His wife, Kim, raised the alarm after he didn't respond to her calls. Hotel security found him unresponsive, and emergency responders had difficulty locating a pulse.
The GoFundMe campaign, initially aiming for $50,000, has already surpassed its goal significantly, raising over $144,791 from over 2,200 generous donors. Beyond his extensive video game career, Johnson is also a long-time public address announcer for the Washington Capitals and has appeared in various film and television projects.
His impressive resume of video game roles includes 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.
