Lund was primarily a theater actor. After a study visit to Oxford in 1919 and preparatory studies, he made his theatrical debut in Frank Wedekind's 1891 drama ''Spring Awakening''. He performed at the experimental Intimate Theater ({{langx|no|Intimteatret}}) in 1922, during the one season it was active.<ref>{{cite news |title=Vaarbrytning pa Intimteatret |url=https://www.nb.no/nbsok/nb/90199740bff873a4d209b8652cecfc19?index=2#0 |access-date=June 14, 2021 |work=Nationen |issue=90 |date=April 19, 1922 |page=3}}</ref> From 1924 to 1934 he was at the Central Theater, the Norwegian Theater, and Søilen Theater. After a pause from 1934 to 1945, he was again engaged with the Norwegian Theater in 1945.
Lund's film debut was in 1926 in Rasmus Breistein's ''Brudeferden i Hardanger''. He appeared sporadically in films and on television until 1980, and he played twelve different roles altogether.
Around 1949, he took a break from the Norwegian Theater, during which he toured Europe with the dance troupe of the Indian dancer Ram Gopal. Lund also ran a small farm for a year and spent time in London before appearing at various Norwegian theaters, including the Rogaland Theater, People's Theater, Norwegian National Opera, and NRK's Television Theater, where he remained for a time.<ref name="Solem">{{cite book |last1=Solem |first1=Arne |title=Studentene fra 1919 |date=1969 |publisher=Bokkomitéen for studentene fra 1919 |location=Oslo |page=108}}</ref> From 1964 to 1977 he performed several roles at the National Theater.<ref name="NTA"/>
