Kaplan: Ice Cube a Great Pick for 'Kotter'

NEW YORK (AP) - Former ``Welcome Back, Kotter'' creator-star Gabe Kaplan says rapper-actor Ice Cube is a great choice to play his old role in the big-screen remake of the hit 1970s TV series.

In an interview that was to air Thursday, Kaplan tells ``Access Hollywood'' he thinks Ice Cube ``is the perfect guy... He has shown what kind of crossover appeal he has.''
