A complete characterization of bounded and unbounded norm hermitian operators on $H^{∞}_E$ is given for the case when E is a complex Banach space with trivial multiplier algebra. As a consequence, the bi-circular projections on $H^{∞}_E$ are determined. We also characterize a subclass of hermitian operators on $S^{∞}_{𝓚}$ for 𝓚 a complex Hilbert space.
