'Make sure your kids are not the last generation of Americans. And you know exactly what I'm talking about.'The Cabot sent an email apology in which it said it didn't endorse the opinions of the actor, who also starred in 'Close Encounters of The Third Kind,' 'American Graffiti' and 'The Goodbye Girl,' a performance for which he received an Oscar.
