John Fusco is a screenwriter, producer, and television series creator. His work has included several successful films and tv shows such as Crossroads, Young Guns, Young Guns II, Thunderheart, Hidalgo and the Netflix series Marco Polo. John discusses his journey during his youth as a musician that led him to pursue his career in writing.

As a fellow martial artist, we spoke about the correlation between kung fu and how it inspires his work. John crossed Central Mongolia on horseback, which is something I have always wanted to do. I loved hearing his stories about the everyday culture of the Mongols and their way of life.
