After training as an actor, he made his theater debut on a stage in Stuttgart before returning to Berlin. Here he founded the “Group of Young Actors” with his brother, the actor Gerhard Bienert , and other colleagues, which mainly performed socially critical plays. He later worked for other Berlin theaters and, from 1930, for film productions such as The Blue Angel . This was followed by a number of leading roles as an actor and as assistant director and screenwriter, including several times for Karl Valentin and Liesl Karlstadt , but also in National Socialist propaganda films such as Hitlerjunge Quex (1933) or In the Name of the People (1939). In 1940 he had a supporting role in Veit Harlan's inflammatory film Jud Suss .

After the Second World War , he first played at the Schillertheater in Berlin and from 1949 also in DEFA film productions . The really big film roles became rarer, however, he often had to be content with supporting roles, so that he also increasingly worked for the radio . As a radio play speaker he had 320 "missions".

Bernt died on October 26, 1981 in Berlin.
