In the 2010 Danish series Borgen, Larsen played the fictitious Prime Minister of Greenland Jens Enok Berthelsen. When a new series was announced in 2021, Larsen was again included in the cast.[6]

Larsen plays the role of a local police chief, Enok Lynge, in the Swedish/Icelandic television series, Thin Ice.[2] Vogue highlighted Larsen's role and described the series as maintaining "balance between earnest political messaging and escapist entertainment [that] is carefully maintained, and immensely satisfying".[8] His performance earned him a male leading role nomination in Iceland's 2021 Edda Awards.[9]
In addition to his acting, Larsen works as the sound technician for Katuaq, the cultural and performing arts centre in Greenland's capital, Nuuk.[10]
