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

According to a PC Gamer report, 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 when he didn't show up. Hotel security discovered him, and paramedics struggled to find a pulse.
