Is there a good way to use a object from Type Type in a generic method?

  Type type = typeof(object);
  GenericMethod</*use Type here*/>();


I have a lot of serialized different Objects in a Database along with their typename as string. All of them share the same Interface. Now i want to deserialize all of those to the right Objects.
Therefore i created a Application scanner that collects the Types for all those objects. Now i want to compare the typenames and deserialize them in a loop.
All of this feels wrong.

private IInterface GetObject(StoredObject storedObject)
        {
            foreach(var type in TypeList)
            {
                if(type.Name == storedObject.Type)
                    return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject</*TheCorrectType*/>(storedObject.ActualObjectData);
            }
        }

sth. like this
