Edwards appeared in 174 films between 1915 and 1959. The first was as an unbilled player in a
Harold Lloyd short. In the early 1920s Edwards and his vaudeville partner Edward Flanagan appeared as the "Hall Room Boys" in some of the earliest short films produced by Cohn-Brandt-Cohn Film Sales, which would develop into
Columbia Pictures. Of his credited film appearances, about 140 are comedy short subjects, notably the "Nervy Ned" one-reelers made for
Universal Pictures from 1922 to 1924, in which he and
Bert Roach played a couple of hoboes who typically get into slapstick trouble. His later career is marked by bit parts and character work. Edwards was married to actress
Marguerite Snow. He was born in
Delphos, Ohio, and died in
Woodland Hills, Los Angeles. ==Vaudeville farces and skits==
