In Konradin Kunze's staging of Burns (by Wajdi Mouawad) he took on the role of the cynical soldier and psychopath Nihad.

Die Welt writes: “Florens Schmidt plays the difficult role of the handicapped teenager with flying colors. It shows the behavioral abnormalities of an Asperger child, the enormous precision in the observations, but also the physical inaccessibility and the clumsy handling of others. "

In 2017 he had a cameo as a hotel porter as part of the 20th season of Schloss Einstein. In 2018 Schmidt can be seen in the ZDF series "Bettys Diagnose" in an episode role as Julian Steiner .

The NDR writes: “Florens Schmidt stands on the edge of the stage in a linen shirt, and you believe every word he says. So at the end the evening comes to itself and touches you. Life means loss - and every good actor turns it into: Art that helps to fill the terrible void. "

Florens Schmidt also works as an audio book speaker. In 2019 Wolfgang Borchert: Complete Stories was published by Buchfunk Verlag.
