How can I use web API action method in another action method

For Example

Method1()

{

Return Ok(Some Complex Type)

}

Method2()

{

Some results = Method1()

}

By default OK(Object) return type is Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.OkObjectResult

In some scenarios, I want to use the existing API method and I want that response in a readable format, so we need to convert Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.OkObjectResult to custom type

Thanks, Bryian, below approach, is absolutely fine when starting new development to define common logic in a separate method and use it as and when needed. Yesterday I came across a scenario where one action method is developed long back and now I want use the same API response for my other task, for some reason I'm not supposed to change any code in an existing method, So now I have only one option is to copy the complete code and put it in your new action method, so to avoid this duplicate code I called directly method1() action method and its return me in type of Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.OkObjectResult I tried to convert this time for some but didn't work for me... R&D is going let's see...

Why not put the "Some Complex Type" in a separate method?
MethodShare() {
   return "Some Complex Type";
}

Method1()
{
   Return Ok(MethodShare())
}

Method2()
{
  Some results = MethodShare();
}
