His role in the film 2003 Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over as Francis, a beta tester earned him the nickname "Spy Kid" from fellow Varsity Fanclub members.

Edner's acting work has been sporadic since the early 2000s, with gaps of several years between acting credits; his most recent role was in the 2015 film Dutch Hollow.

Edner has also worked in commercials and is the brother of Ashley Edner.

Edner dueted with Alexa PenaVega on the song "Heart Drive" from the film Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over . He also co-wrote the song "Alone" with Ryan Cabrera.[ citation needed ]

On April 30, 2011, and May 1, 2011, Edner posted a series of public messages on his Twitter profile publicly discussing conflicts with the band's new (and as yet unsigned manager), Philipp Hallenberger. Edner claimed that he was not informed of an April 2011 Varsity Fanclub photo shoot and that he was being "forced out" of the band by Hallenberger. Edner posted on April 30, 2011: "Trust me, this is not my decision and I will be fighting this. I want nothing more than to be in this group and have no intention to quit." [9]
