Dolemite Is My Name co-writer Larry Karaszewski discusses how he and his writing partner Scott Alexander were approached by Eddie Murphy for the film, the long journey to the screen and more. 

The biopic follows Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore, a comedy and rap pioneer who proved naysayers wrong when his hilariously obscene, kung-fu fighting alter-ego Dolemite became a 1970s film phenomenon. You can stream Dolemite Is My Name on Netflix.
