This is a bit tricky actually - you may want to rethink the custom authorization and consider populating the roles in say Application_AuthenticateRequest, and then use the Authorize attribute to do the actual checks if the user belongs to those roles. This way you are applying it directly to the action method and avoiding a custom mess but achieving basically the same result.
