Beloved Bethesda voice actor Wes Johnson has a GoFundMe set up in his name while he “continues to battle for his life in an intensive care unit.”
According to a GoFundMe page, Johnson was supposed to host an event raising money for the National Alzheimer’s Foundation in Atlanta, but he never arrived. Johnson was found “unconscious” in his hotel room by security, and received medical attention at the scene.
Over $140,000 has already been raised for Johnson, smashing the original $50,000 target. Bethesda shared the campaign alongside the message: “Wes is not only an incredibly talented and instrumental part of our games, but also one of our dearest friends. We wish him well and hope for an easy recovery.”
Johnson played a lot of iconic roles in Bethesda games. He voiced Boethiah, Malacath, and Molag Bal in Morrowind, Lucien Lachance and Sheogorath in Oblivion, and Hermaeus Mora, Emperor Titus Mede II, Sheogorath, and Lucien Lachance again in Skyrim.
