Who in your mind is the most influential person to how the three branches of the American govt. work together nowadays (I personally think it's John marshal he made the Supreme Court what it is today and he's my favorite person in all of history too)

I would agree — either John Marshall for creating Judicial Review or James Madison for laying out the outline of the three branches of government before the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. Without Madison, the government might have a very different shape (it was definitely going to be suggested that a new government was needed, but whether the proposed form would have passed without Madison’s input is another argument).
