Answers: I saw in the credits the name Michael Moore and I was wondering if it was the extreme leftist one.

No. Different guy. This is a very much older guy, officially known as Michael D. Moore. He was a second Assistant Director , and had a long and distinguished career on that film and many other famous films, including all of the Indiana Jones films.

Here is some information about his career:

Michael D. Moore, born October 16, 1914, is a Canadian-born American film actor and director.

Born Michael Sheffield in Victoria, British Columbia, both he and his brother Patrick were Hollywood child actors. At the age of five he appeared in his first film under the stage name "Mickey Moore." Between then and the time he reached the age of thirteen in 1927, he performed in two dozen children's roles on film. In the early 1950s, Moore began working as an Assistant Film Director and would fill that role or as a Second unit director on more than sixty films. He played a key part in a number of major motion pictures including The Ten Commandments (1956), Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), Patton (1970), and The Man Who Would Be King in 1975. He also worked as an assistant director on several Elvis Presley musical films and directed Presley in the 1966 film, Paradise, Hawaiian Style for Paramount Pictures. Because of that, plus his experience directing a western film, MGM hired him to direct rock singer Roy Orbison in 1967's The Fastest Guitar Alive. He was the associate producer in charge of action & animal scenes for Quest for Fire (film)(1981).

In the 1980s, Steven Spielberg would hire Moore as assistant director for all three Indiana Jones films. Well into his eighties, Moore was still active, serving as the second unit director for Disney's 2000 film, 102 Dalmatians.

That is extremely unlikely. That was over 20 years ago.

For example, there is an actor named Mike Myers (Austin Powers, Shrek). However, there is no real Michael Myers (Halloween),

nope your thinking of
