Why can't I use/cast an Action for/to a ThreadStart?

Both are delegates and have the same signature, but I can not use Action as ThreadStart.

Why?

Action doIt;
doIt = () => MyMethod("test");
Thread t;

t = new Thread(doIt);
t.Start();

but this seams to work:

Thread t;

t = new Thread(() => MyMethod("test"));
t.Start();
