Alexander Scheer, born June 1, 1976, in East Berlin, worked four years in several casual jobs as mailman, cemetery gardener, or bartender after finishing school. Scheer's experiences with drugs during this time provided the basis for a story in Jörg Böckem's book "Danach war alles anders". Scheer then appeared in several commercials before making his acting debut at the Berlin off theatre TiK at the end of the 1990s.

The autodidact who never went to drama school made his breakthrough performance in Leander Haußmanns "Sonnenallee" ("Sun Alley"), Scheer's first feature film. Scheer then performed under Haußmann at Bochum's Schauspielhaus in classic plays such as "Much Ado About Nothing" or "Leonce and Lena". In 2002 Scheer became a regular cast member of Berlin's Volksbühne. One year later, in 2003, he and short film director André Jagusch founded the video production company "9 O'Clock Pictures" and produced trash video films such as "American Showdown". Among Scheer's best known films are the satire "Viktor Vogel - Commercial Man" ("Advertising Rules!") starring Götz George and Sven Taddicken's "Mein Bruder, der Vampir" ("Getting My Brother Laid").

Scheer who has been dedicated to art house films during his career now plays the part of rock legend Keith Richards in "Das wilde Leben" ("8 Miles High"), a film biography of Uschi Obermaier.
