Biography

Scheer studied at

Leander Haussmann, who cast him in his 1999 film Sonnenallee. After the shooting, Scheer and Haußmann followed to the Schauspiel Bochum theater. There he played among other things in various plays such as Much Ado About Nothing, Leonce and Lena, and The Tempest
.

As a result, he worked with the directors like

Volksbühne Berlin, and "The Seagull" at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg. For his acting performances, he was awarded the Ulrich-Wildgruber-Preis [de] (the Ulrich Wildgruber prize). For the personification of the English Shakespearean actor Edmund Kean in Frank Castorf's production of the same name in 2009, Scheer was voted Actor of the Year by the theater magazine Theater heute. In addition to his theater engagements, he was also in the national and international productions such as Viktor Vogel – Commercial Man, Eight Miles High, Mrs Ratcliffe's Revolution, and Carlos (miniseries) which its full 5½-hour version was shown out of competition at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival
.

To prepare for the portrayal of Keith Richards in the film Eight Miles High, Scheer founded the band The Rockboys which played concerts for one summer. In 2007 he joined Jan Opoczynski as guitarist in his band Der Internationale Wettbewerb [de]. In the following year, he became the front man of the Viennese band Gruppe Pegel. In 2009 he toured Europe as a percussionist with The Whitest Boy Alive. In 2012 he appeared as Mephistopheles in the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's tragedy play Faust, Part One.

Scheer played a total of 16 years under the direction of

Volksbühne Berlin. The decision of the secretary for cultural affairs of Berlin, Tim Renner, caused Castorf's contract as director not to be extended and Scheer was critical of it. He then asked Tim Renner not to enter the theater again, and when Scheer met Renner there in 2018 after a film screening, he poured a glass of beer over his head.[2]

Scheer at the 2019 German Film Awards

In the Andreas Dresen's 2018 biographical film Gundermann about the East German songwriter, rock musician, and skilled excavator operator Gerhard Gundermann, Scheer played the title role and sang all the songs himself.[3] For this role, he was awarded German Film Award (Deutscher Filmpreis) the most important cinema awards in Germany and the most highly endowed German cultural awards, for the Best Actor in a Leading Role in 2019.

In the television series Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo [de], he embodied the British musician David Bowie.

Scheer was in a long-term relationship with the fashion designer Esther Perbandt [de].[4]
