Use RedirectToAction in a JsonResult Action?

using ASP.NET MVC 1.0 and I have a action that returns a JsonResult and I need to redirect another action that also returns a JsonResult action type.

The problem is the RedirectToAction() returns a RedirectToRouteResult class and seems there is no way to convert that to JsonResult class ?

This is the error I am getting; Error 124 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Web.Mvc.RedirectToRouteResult' to 'System.Web.Mvc.JsonResult'

So you have Action method A, which in some situation, needs to return the result from Action Method B?

Why not just do something like this:

public JsonResult ActionMethodA()
{
     if(someCondition)
        return ActionMethodB();
     else
        return new JsonResult();
}

public JsonResult ActionMethodB()
{
    // Something
}
