ActionExecutingContext has a property ActionDescriptor.
If the return type is actually a ReflectedActionDescriptor you should be able to cast is as such. Once you have a ReflectedActionDescriptor…

… you can use it’s MethodInfo property…

You should be careful using techniques that take the action’s name and use this to obtain a MethodInfo. In many cases the name of an action will be the same as the method name on the controller, but this will not always be the case. If you use the ActionName attribute on the controller’s method then you can explicitly set the name of the action. In addition, it is possible to have 2 methods with different signatures, both with the same action name. This is common when you have a GET and POST version of the same action (e.g. the Register and LogOn actions present in a brand new ASP.NET MVC project within AccountController.cs).
