Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn is a fictional character who first appears in the 1968 Charles Portis novel, True Grit.
The novel was adapted into a 1969 film, True Grit, and from that a 1975 sequel entitled Rooster Cogburn was also produced.
In the 1969 and 1975 theatrical releases, Cogburn was portrayed by John Wayne. Wayne garnered his only Oscar for his performance in the first of the two movies. Cogburn is portrayed as an anti-hero, which was an unusual role for Wayne, who usually played a strait-laced hero.
