How do I call a method asynchronously, but on a specific thread?

From Thread A I wish to call MethodA() asynchronously (such that it doesn't block Thread A) to be run on Thread B a specific thread that I have started, such that it interrupts what Thread B is doing.

Is this possible without having to actively poll for MethodA() call requests in Thread B?

EDIT: more specifically, I wish for all calls to MethodA() to be on Thread B.

EDIT 2: neither thread is a UI thread. Although I know Thread B is running, it would be nice to be able to return false if its not/not throw an exception.

It is impossible to do without creating a specific implementation of Thread B worker. Thread B worker should be something like infinite-loop or another signaling mechanism like EventWaitHandle. On each iteration of loop Thread B worker should check some queue of delegates which can be populated by another thread.
