Feb 19,25

Beloved Bethesda voice actor Wes Johnson, known for his work in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 3, Starfield, and numerous other titles, has shared a moving message following a near-fatal incident. Last week, he was found "barely alive" in his Atlanta hotel room.

A video posted on his GoFundMe page, which has already raised an impressive $174,653 for medical expenses and outstanding bills, reveals Johnson was in a coma. He expressed profound gratitude for the outpouring of support, stating, "I found out there's a lot of love in this world that I didn't know was out there, and I'm grateful to each and every one of you."

Johnson, also a Washington Capitals announcer, was in Atlanta for a National Alzheimer's Foundation benefit. His absence from the event triggered concern, leading his wife, Kim Johnson, to contact the hotel. Security personnel and EMTs found him with a barely detectable pulse.

"Rumors of my demise were not exaggerated," Johnson admitted in the video. "It was very close. But I'm still here because my wife called the hotel, and my son contacted security. They found me nearly dead."

He detailed his five-day coma, expressing thanks to friends Bill Glasser and Shari Elliker, and his wife, for establishing the GoFundMe. He also acknowledged the National Alzheimer's Association for supporting his family, Ted Leonsis (Washington Capitals parent company chairman) for his $25,000 donation, and Bethesda for their public show of support. "You say I'm your friend. I am, always will be. Love you guys," he said to Bethesda. He concluded with heartfelt thanks to fans for their donations and support, promising, "I'm not going anywhere. It's going to be a while, but I'm coming back."

Johnson's extensive voice acting credits encompass numerous film and television roles, but he's particularly recognized for his contributions to Bethesda games. Recent roles include Ron Hope in Starfield, along with memorable characters like Sheogorath and Lucien Lachance in Oblivion, several 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.
