Formula 1 race car driver Cedric DeVane (Lou Wilson: The King of Staten Island, American Vandal) has always wanted to be the best, but for most of his career, he's had to settle for second place. Growing up black in South Los Angeles, the Italian racer had dreams of being a champion, but tragedy struck and changed everything. Do I ask him about this horrible boating accident that almost killed him, even though his publicists told me not to? Of course. This is real journalism, folks.
