In 2009, he applied to the production company Grundy UFA for a role in the RTL soap opera *Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten* and initially postponed completing his high school diploma to participate in the filming. From 2011 onwards, Rust appeared in the series *Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten* as Zacharias Benedikt "Zac" Klingenthal. The character was a member of the series' main cast for several years.
