Scott Alexander (b. June 16 1963, Los Angeles, California) and Larry Karaszewski (b. November 20 1961, South Bend, Indiana) are a Hollywood screenwriting team. They met at the University of Southern California where they were roommates; they graduated from the School of Cinematic Arts in 1985.Notable Alumni, USC School of Cinematic Arts, Accessed March 10, 2008.

Their first success was the popular but critically derided comedy Problem Child (1990). Alexander and Karaszewski claim that their original screenplay was a sophisticated black comedy but that the studio watered it down into an unrecognizable state.

In 1994, Alexander and Karaszewski persuaded Tim Burton to direct a biopic about the worst film director in the world, Edward D. Wood, Jr.. They wrote the screenplay in six weeks; the film was titled simply Ed Wood.
