Bremmer first began his career in the short film of Couples and Robbers before being in his first full-length film The Girl with Brains in Her Feet. He is most noted for playing Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (with the footage he appears in being reused in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2) and played Skeld in The 13th Warrior. He also had the role of L'abbé Traquet in the 2004 film Vipere au poing.
