Views expose the .MasterName property which specifies which master page to use. You can set this in your controller when returning a view.
For example,
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewResult vr = View();
vr.MasterName="....";
return vr;
}

true - or check out the various overloads of the
View method, two of them has the ability to specify which master page to render: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/…

If it's something you want to apply more generally and site wide, this may be way too laborious to have to apply this in each Action for a bunch of Views.

@Wim good point. It may make more sense to create a common base controller class and adding this code to OnActionExecuted, or overriding/overloading the .View() method
You can create your own custom ViewPage class, and override the OnPreInit method and set the MasterPageFile property accordingly.
Just change your Views to use your own custom ViewPage class, and you're done.
