Steve Buscemi. Not exactly a lead actor, though.
shareHe was the lead in Tree's Lounge and the HBO series Boardwalk Empire, and I think he was fine in both of them; but, you're right, he usually plays supporting roles, and is probably better suited to them.
shareI loved Boardwalk Empire. But there were people who criticised his performance.
shareRemember, a person is as much defined by his or her detractor as s/he is by his or her supporters. There are some people by whom I don't want to be liked!
shareHey, you're talking about me?!
shareDarling, if you were one of them, AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT, Miss Lookingforattention, I would not be talking with you and I would not even be seeing you, because you'd me on my legendary Ignore list😆
shareYou got me! I knew I wasn't one of them, sweetie. I was just being an attention whore.😘

If they've given a bad performance, I haven't seen it.
Although I haven't liked all the movies I've seen him in, I can't remember a single time Daniel Day-Lewis gave anything less than a stellar performance.
shareHe seemed to catch quite a bit of flak for The Crucible but then every movie board has its share of whiny, self-appointed, expert movie critics.
