Override View() in asp.net mvc

I have the follow base controller- 

public abstract class BaseController : Controller
{
     protected string BaseUrl = "URL";
}

All other controller inherit the above base controller-

public class MyController : BaseController
{       
    public ActionResult Something()
    {
        ViewBag.BaseUrl = base.BaseUrl;
        return View();
    }
}

I don't want to write ViewBag.BaseUrl = base.BaseUrl; in every controller action method. Rather, I would to automatically pass this base url to the related view. Is it possible by overriding View()?

An example would be better for me.

If all controllers derive this then just put it in here:

public abstract class BaseController : Controller
{
     protected string BaseUrl = "URL";
     public BaseController()
     {
         ViewBag.BaseUrl = base.BaseUrl;
     }   
}

I would even make it private if I do not want inheriting classes to overwrite it.
