Brando called and "expressed his remorse," Rabbi Marvin Hier said. Brando then offered to "make a public statement regarding this matter" at the Simon Wiesenthal Center's museum, Hier said.
The 72-year-old Brando was harshly criticized by Jewish groups after remarks last week in an interview.
"Hollywood is run by Jews. It is owned by Jews and they should have a greater sensitivity about the issue of people who are suffering," Brando said.
"He told me he was an early supporter of Israel," said Hier. "I told him, `Marlon, I never thought you were an anti-Semite, but the words you used on Larry King was music to the ears of racists and bigots all over the world.' "
