Cast List

Hey, I can dream, right. Here is who I'd have cast in this fanfic. The first 2 are a given. After all, this is a "Labyrinth" fic.

Jareth the Goblin King (portrayed by David Bowie) Within this fanfic; one of the mysterious Fae, Jareth rules over all Goblin kind. He controls a dangerous Labyrinth that adapts itself to the fears and dreams of those who try to navigate it. He was defeated nine years prior by a teenage girl, Sarah Williams, with whom he had developed a fascination. Whenever someone wishes the goblins would take away a child, Jareth takes said child to the Underground. What he does with such children is discovered within the tale. Jareth can shapeshift into a barn owl.
 

Sarah Williams (portrayed by Jennifer Connelly) Nine years prior Sarah had wished away her half brother and in order to get him back she had to solve the Labyrinth and confront the Goblin King. She won. But life didn't turn out like she had dreamed. A struggling actress and author in New York she finds her imagination drying up under her need to eak out a living. Until Jareth returns to her life and spirits her away to the Underground once more.  Now she isn't sure what's more dangerous, her feelings for the Goblin King or the wrath of his old enemy.
 
 

Lady Saishoku (Tamlyn Tomita) Beautiful and crafty Sai is a three tail Kitsune, or Japanese fox spirit. She's Jareth's closest friend and a master of martial arts and trickery. Luckily her fun loving nature is tempered by her love for her human husband, Ian. She befriends Sarah, who is quick to learn that having a kitsune as a friend is a very good thing, indeed.

Ian Jasper(Ewan McGregor) Jareth's gardener and general houseboy. How Ian and his mother, Colleen, came to be in Jareth's service has yet to be revealed, but it is an interesting story. Ian is much older than he looks, thanks to Fae magic. He is loyal, cunning, and not necessarily Jareth's biggest fan. His wife is the Lady Saishoku, and he enjoys tugging on her tails to get her attention.
 
 
 
 

Colleen Jasper (Kathy Bates) Col is Jareth's cook. The goblins follow her orders, because they like to eat and fear being made to miss a meal. Col is sweet natured, but has strong opinions. She can organize a passle of goblins, gave Jareth a disapproving glare and still look after her son and daughter-in-law. She is quick to befriend a lost and confused Sarah. Col admits she asked to be Jareth's cook but won't elaborate.
 
 
 
 

Gwyn ap Nudd (Sting) The King of Annwn and Master of the Wild Hunt is an old enemy of Jareth's. He clawed his way to his position as royal favorite in the Fae court. Jareth's presence as Crown Prince reminds Gwyn how far he really is from the throne. There may be other reasons for his hatred of the Goblin King, but they have yet to be revealed.
 
 
 
 
 

Goblins Jareth's loyal minions. They aren't too bright and not much to look at, but some of them make up for it by being ruthless and viscous. After all you can't keep a good goblin down. No matter how hard you kick it.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Queen Titania (Michelle Pfeiffer) Jareth's mother, Titania is often bored and playes her courtiers against each other. Both she and Oberon are holding a grudge against their only son for a as yet untold past incident. Her relationship with Jareth is strained and tense. Some have mentioned they cannot picture this actress portraying Jareth's mother. Keep in mind, the Fae do not age as mortals do. Titania is well over a thousand years old.
 
 

King Oberon (William Hurt) Jareth's father, High King of the Fae. He maintains a cold distance from his son over a past incident. I chose this actor because his was the first performance of Oberon I saw (in 1982) and it left a lasting impression on me.
