During a five-decade-long-acting career, Lunøe had particularly distinguished himself in roles as a villain in several Danish films and series.

In addition, he is known for his role in "The Kingdom", where he played the Minister of Health, and other TV series such as "Nikolaj og Julie", "The Travel Team" and "Strisser på Samsø".

He had his last role in the 2015 comedy "Men and Hens".
