  • David Bowie played Jareth, the Goblin King: Antagonist. Jareth is the seemingly cruel master of a wide kingdom of goblins, which is called the Underground. Jareth is cunning, feared among the goblins, and ubiquitous throughout his fortress. He appears to be able to manipulate aspects of his world at will, creating bizarre landscapes and redirecting Sarah's journey. He is able to create, seemingly from thin air, small crystal orbs which are used to work magic. He is shown contact juggling them throughout the film; this was produced by having another actor (Michael Moschen) stand behind David Bowie and perform the juggle while organizing the picture to make the seeming that only one man stood in the viewers' field of vision. Jareth is shown to be able to change into a barn owl, in which form he appears at the beginning and end of the film. Over the course of the film, Jareth appears to become romantically interested in Sarah, even asking her to stay in the Labyrinth, but it is not revealed whether he is sincere. More of Jareth's background and motivations are revealed in the authorized English-language manga sequel Return to Labyrinth. A figurine of Jareth can be seen on the right hand side of Sarah's desk, and the photo of Sarah's mother included David Bowie, the actor that played Jareth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth_(film)
