Quick, now: How long has Devin Scillian been lead male anchor for Detroit's Local 4? Would you believe 13 years? The legend and legacy of iconic anchor Mort Crim remains so vivid that it feels like the kid from Kansas just began warming the seat next to Queen Carmen. But Scillian, the smartest guy on Detroit television, has taken the time and care to learn our quirky ways, become entrenched in our community, and, most importantly, earn the trust of Detroit TV watchers. Much more than a headline reader, he displays his political acumen and perceptive interview style every Sunday on the top-rated public affairs series Flashpoint; don't be surprised to see him play a major role next month in the annual Mackinac Policy Conference. Scillian makes a hard job in a tough news town seem smooth and easy, and in his spare time he writes award-winning children's books and composes music to perform with the country band he fronts. A renaissance man, shining in the shadow of the Renaissance Center. How fitting.
