He was discovered by director Leander Haußmann during a casting call, who cast him in his film Sonnenallee. After filming, Scheer joined the Schauspielhaus Bochum. There, he performed in plays such as Much Ado About Nothing, Leonce and Lena, and The Tempest.

In addition to his theatrical work, he has appeared in national and international films such as Viktor Vogel – Commercial Man, The Wild Life, Mrs. Ratcliffe's Revolution, and Carlos – The Jackal, which premiered successfully at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. To prepare for portraying Keith Richards in the film The Wild Life, Scheer formed the band The Rockboys, which played numerous summer concerts. In 2007, he joined Jan Opoczynski's band The International Competition as a guitarist. The following year, he was the frontman of the Vienna band Gruppe Pegel.
