asp.net mvc - Return View from ActionFilter

Question

I have an ActionFilter that checks if a parameter in the URL is valid. If it is not valid I have to render a View. I dont want to redirect, because I still need the ActionExecutingContext. Can that be done?

    public override void  OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        Guid processIdentifier = (Guid)filterContext.RouteData.Values["processIdentifier"];
        //if processIdentifier  not found render a view with message and some other objects in ViewData
        filterContext.Controller.ViewData.ModelState.AddModelError("WrongProcessIdentifier", "The process-id you supplied is not valid");
        base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
    }

HandleErrorAttribute had what I was looking for.

filterContext.Result = new ViewResult
            {
                ViewName = "MessagePage",
                ViewData = filterContext.Controller.ViewData,
                TempData = filterContext.Controller.TempData
            };
